Create Project

create_project

Create a new project.

Projects group related resources (jobs, monitors, datasets, monitor_groups) so you can organize work and filter listings by project_id.

Tool call template

TDQS

A3.7/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states 'create' (a write operation) but does not mention authentication requirements, permission needs, idempotency, or any side effects. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage, this is a significant gap.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences with no filler. The primary action is front-loaded and the second sentence adds the key conceptual insight about project grouping and filtering, making every sentence earn its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool is simple and an output schema exists, but with no annotations the description should still provide more guidance on authentication or when to use an existing project versus creating a new one. It is adequate but leaves meaningful usage and behavioral gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the input schema fully documents the name, api_key, and description parameters. The description adds context about project grouping but does not add meaning to the parameters themselves, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses a specific verb and resource ('Create a new project') and then explains what a project is for, which distinguishes it from create_dataset, create_monitor, and create_webhook. An agent can identify this as the container/grouping tool rather than a resource-creation tool.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The second sentence gives clear context: projects group related resources and enable filtering by project_id. This implies when a project container is needed, but it does not explicitly state when not to use it or point to alternatives like create_dataset for non-grouped resources.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
